It’s true that when summer arrives there are few things more appealing than going to the beach in the morning, taking a bath, and lying in the sun in the afternoon… yet we can’t be wary. We are very, very aware of the dangers of intense sun exposure: pimples, melanoma, premature aging… Especially people with sensitive and fair skin, who naturally enjoy less protection against the sun’s rays and are therefore more likely to burn if they are exposed to it.
And you, have you ever burned in the sun? These painful lesions appear when the amount of solar radiation we receive exceeds the capacity of melanin (the pigment our body generates) to protect it. If you burn, you will first notice a hot, reddish welt on your skin. Later, after a few weeks or months, it will come off and eventually regenerate and lighten on its own. Of course the damage at the cellular level would have been irreparable…
While we never tire of repeating the importance of using a good sunscreen every day (and especially in the summer, on days at the beach and pool), we also know that sometimes we get confused or can’t avoid that we need more than usual… But not everything would be negative: fortunately, there are some specific products to soothe and care for the skin after a day at the beach and in the sun. We are talking about the so-called ‘after sun’, some creams that moisturize the skin, give it a lot of freshness, reduce possible itching, inflammation and tightness and help the dermis to recover a little faster after exposure to the sun all day. In some cases, these products also help extend and even out your tan for a few days. Ready to know the best products to restore your skin this summer?
